Hey guys, I'm going to get rid of the tee fitting on my s13 sr valve cover, and replace it with a -10 tee before sending it out to TRG Coating, so later on when i make my oil catch system, its good to go.

now my question.

I've looked around for a 3/8" NPT to -10 Tee fitting, but I'm pretty sure they don't exist. Every 3/8" I've seen is for -8 line, which I don't want to use. NOW - All the -10 Tee's I see, can come in 1/2" NPT, is 1/2" NPT going to be too big for the valve cover (is there enough material for it to be tapped?)

any info would be appreicated
